Chapter 26

"Alright perfect, thank you so much for you agreeing." Beca said through the phone.

"Anything for you little one". The voice said with a chuckle.

"Height joke, how original." Beca said sarcastically.

The other person laughed "I'll see you soon."

"For sure Z." Beca said before hanging up and writing down a name in her notebook.

"Geez that's a lot of people." Stacie said creeping up behind her.

"Yeah, but this video is going to be epic." Beca said with a smile.

"All them for one video?" Stacie asked.

"I want to do something big." Beca shrugged.

"Still not giving me anything?" Stacie asked.

Beca shook her head "Nope, sorry love but everything is a secret."

Stacie pouted "Not even a hint?"

"Negative, you are just going to have to wait like everyone else." Beca smiled and patted the girl's right cheek softly.

"Fine then." Stacie huffed.

Beca chuckled before fully turning her attention towards Stacie "So what's up?"

"We have to be at the studio tomorrow to shoot some promos and the shows new intro with Em's song." Stacie said.

Beca nodded "Sounds good, anything else?"

Stacie shook her head "That's all I got."

"Maybe we can do something after, just me and you?" Beca asked.

"Beca Mitchell are you asking me on a date?" Stacie asked amused in a teasing way.

Beca smirked "I'm a bit rusty you know? I need a practice date if I ever want to impress Megan."

Stacie rolled her eyes and threw a pen at Beca "Fuck you." She laughed.

"Whenever you want." Beca winked "But I was thinking since we have Em here now, we could do something you know? Like we used to do before Alanna."

Stacie smiled "Of course Becs, I'd love that."

"Perfect, I'll figure something out ok?" Beca asked with a smile.

Stacie nodded "I can't wait."

"Well, that means I should probably meet up with Abel today and hand him these two songs. We're so close to finishing up." Beca announced.

"Alright that's fine, get everything taken care off." Stacie said.

Beca sent a text to The Weeknd and she instantly got a reply.

"He said he's already there so I'm going to head out." Beca said getting up and grabbing her laptop.

"Have fun and be safe." Stacie said.

Beca nodded as she gave Stacie a hug and kissed the top of her head "Always. Call you when I get there and leave."

"Love you!" Stacie shouted as Beca walked towards the door.

"I know!" Beca called back.

"Beca!" Stacie whined.

"Love you too!" Beca said with a chuckle as she walked out and headed towards the garage.

After the quick drive to the studio Beca walked inside and met up with The Weeknd.

"Alright Abel, I think we have a finished product with these two." Beca announced as she sat down next to him.

"Lay them on me then." Abel said.

Beca nodded and proceeded to play him the demos she recorded.

"You never fail to disappoint." Abel said patting her on the back.

Beca smirked "And don't you forget it."

"You have to tell me how you came up with these two." He said.

Beca smiled as she thought about the image of Stacie asleep with Alanna laid out across her chest.

"Let's just say I had the best inspiration one can ask for." She said still smiling.

"Dam who's got you lovestruck?" He chuckled.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She said.

"That's what we're going with?" He asked in an amused tone.

She nudged him "Just get in there and record the songs dude." She said with a chuckle.

"Alright alright." He said grabbing the lyrics.

The two were able to get the recording session done in less than two hours.

"And just like that, 'Starboy' is complete and ready for release." Beca said reclining back in her chair.

"Good job little one." He said.

"Same to you my friend." She said clicking a button on her laptop "All 18 songs saved." She said holding out the storage device and handing it to The Weeknd.

He grabbed it "Always a pleasure."

"Call me for the fourth album." Beca said packing up.

He laughed "As if I'd call anyone else." He said walking towards the door.

The two walked out towards their cars.

"And word of advice, tell her how you feel." He said.

"I know. I just want to do make it special you know?" She asked.

He nodded as he got into his car "I understand. You got yourself a real one there Beca, don't let her slip away from you."

"I won't." She said as he drove off.
